The COVID-19 pandemic and reduced footfall has hit one of the richest temples of Karnataka. The annual revenue of Kukke Subrahmanya Temple, a Muzrai temple, dropped by ₹29.98 crore during 2020-21, falling from ₹98.92 crore in 2019-20 to ₹68.94 crore. Many devotees from the State and outside visit the temple, mainly to offer “sarpa samskara” and “ashlesha bali” sevas. Both sevas are offered by people irrespective of religion. The temple attracts actors, politicians, and cricket players, among others. According to Mohanram Sulli, chairman of the temple management committee, the temple remained closed for devotees from March 17 to September 8 last year because of the lockdown and COVID-19 restrictions. Hence, the temple did not earn any revenue for about six months.
